Lupita Nyong’o In Lanvin – BAFTA Los Angeles Britannia Awards

The monochromatic palette was popular yesterday night, and Lupita continued the trend with her Lanvin Resort 2014 black-and-cream, dual-side gown.

Small touches added visual spice to the sophisticated, Grecian-inspired dress, including the embellished belt and the asymmetrical, draped shoulder detail, cut through with a bow-accented, ribbon neckline.

The actress, who has really done nothing but impress on the red carpet, wore the languid, floor-sweeping design well, even if the bodice appeared to be ever-so-slightly ill-fitting at some angles.

Lupita has impecable style or the best stylist around. Her being a newby this year, she has done nothing but wow me each time out. I’m loving her in this Lanvin dress. Absolutely gorgeous! I love how she wears the dresses instead of the dresses wearing her. Each look only showcases her beauty. Everyone should take notice, how to wear fashion to let your beauty shine through. She is definitely my up and comer this year.

I’m a Lanvin fan but I am very disappointed in the design, namely the strange ribbon detail. I don’t like the top on the tall model, never mind on the petite Lupita. Still, although not perfect, the fit isn’t fatal. She looks elegant and assured.

The glittery belt is pretty, I like it, but I think a simple black belt pulls the look together better. The ribbon detail at the neckline looks awkward – feels more like a last minute solution to hold the draped shoulder detail in place and prevent it from falling off. The bodice does appear a tad ill-fitted but overall it’s not bad, Lupita looks great and carries the gown gracefully.
